Sheep rodeo

I went out this afternoon to get ready for a client when I realized the grazing Everett wasn't actually in the round pen but outside of it. This was not good since 1. Everett is still the most suspicious of people and doesn't like them to get too close and 2. There was a way for the sheep to escape the pen. After about twenty minutes of trying to get Everett back in, Fred decided that he thought whatever Everett was doing looked like fun and I watched him shove his way under the wire that runs around the base of the pen. This solved the  mystery, but it also meant that we had two sheep loose.

G. went in the pen and wrangled Clark into the trailer and shut the door so we didn't have three sheep loose. Clark was not happy. My clients arrived which meant we had extra hands, and eventually, after another half hour or so, they ran into the barn and into a stall. Being a bit confused about this new place they paused for a moment. A moment was all I needed to run around and shut the outside stall door. G. and I then put our pony proofing skills to use and blocked the barn side of the stall. 

Sheep at least contained. 

I then carted the sheep back to the trailer one at a time and try to get each in without losing the sheep inside. This was a bit trickier than it sounds, and was happily successful. 

The sheep are currently in lock down until J. can find stakes to put in that will make it impossible for the sheep to push through. 

A sheep rodeo was not on my to-do list this afternoon.
